You guys dont know how good you have it with the availablity of quality sandman stipes. In the 90's when I had to resparay my Contessa Gold HX Sandman, you could not get them anywhere, just signwriters who would use pin stiping etc and they looked crap. Go the stripes.

I was always of the opinion that if your quarters were a bit ordinary, then the stripes would also hide a few sins, but if you have great lines, then they do look good with out them.

All I need is a Sandamn again.
